I am Sananda. I am here at this time to continue to help you develop, help you work through all of the changes that are happening in your lives and those lives around you. Everything that is occurring is happening exactly as it needs to. And that is what you need to come to understand, even though it does not appear so. Even though it appears to become darker and darker. It is not—it is becoming lighter and lighter. The light is shining through more and more.

This time, this awakening is all about hope. Hope eternal. Hope continues on eternally. And for those that have lost hope, they lose their lives. They become stagnant in their life. Once they have lost hope, they no longer want to continue on.

So that is why those of us, the Ascended Ones, the Galactics, and the Agarthans that are working with all of you, that is why we continue to bring these messages of hope to you, to continue to help you to rise up, rise up into the light.  Rise up into your awakening and into your ascension process.  Because if you lose hope, you lose everything.  You must continue on.  And those around you that are losing hope, do what you can when you are able to raise their aspirations, to bring their hope back to them.

Because everything that we have been sharing with you is a part of this hope.  It is a part of this continuing on, preparing you.  Preparing you for this great day that we have spoken of.  These great moments that will precede your ascension.

And everything that we have shared with you are promises.  We have been saying for some time, ‘this is the Great Awakening.’  This is, indeed, the darkness before the dawn.  But the dawn is approaching.

Even now, those of you that have the eyes to see and see that dawn approaching now, you can feel it within you.  You know it. Because many of you have felt it before in other lifetimes, other planets, other galaxies.  You have done this before.  So you know you feel something is in the air.  Many of you say, “I feel it!  I feel there is a great change coming!”  And indeed there is a great change coming.  Even now, as I speak to you, there is a momentous change that is about to occur.  What you might call the domino that you have all been looking for is about to fall.  That first domino will lead to many more following after that.  Some bigger, some smaller.  They will continue on, and on to fall, until the culmination of this first wave of ascension happens.  Then, of course, the waves after to follow.  For you, each one of you who chooses, will be a part of bringing that next wave forward.  Just as we are a part of bringing this first wave forward.

This is what you came here for, my friends, to be a part of this expression.  To be the expression itself of the continuation, the momentum that is needed to continue to bring this whole process forward, this whole awakening forward.

And then, awakening, it is.  Many, many, many across the planet are awakening.  Not maybe as fully as you have.  But they are beginning to awaken.  They are beginning to wonder.  They are beginning to remember themselves what they are here for, what this is all about.

And if they are not remembering, they are asking the question now, “Why am I here?  What is this for?  What is my mission?”  Just as you all asked those questions previously in your beginning awakening process.  And as they ask those questions, guess who will be there to answer them for them?

You!  Each and every one of you, who are willing to be a part of the awakening expression of your neighbors, your brothers, your sisters.  That is what you came here to do.  That is what you volunteered for.

So as the vibrations continue to increase, as that finish line is right there in front of you, many of you can see it; if not see it, you can feel it.  You know it is there.

So as The James said earlier with our prompting, feel that adrenalin push now.  Feel it coming up within you.  Feel the light rising within you, the Violet Flame expanding with you.  Feel it all coming up and pushing you forward to reach that finish line.  For it is right there in front of you.  Do not shy back. Do not fall back.  Move forward–inch by inch, if you have to.  Keep moving your feet (figuratively speaking).  Keep moving ahead.  Allow that commitment that you came here for so long ago:  let it push you, and push you, and push you to move to the finish.

I am Sananda.  I leave you now in peace, love, harmony, joy, and oneness.  And that you will continue to remember who you are throughout even the deepest darkest that might befall you.  Know that even as that darkness is there, the light is right there ready to shine, and will completely illuminate all the darkness.

Peace and love be with all of you.
